    You cannot play his position and be that soft. It's not like he's skinny, just has a weak mentality.

    I thought Jones was rebounding pretty strong this game. He was pulling down some tough ones with physicality.

    That's fine, I'm not a jones fan by any means, but he shouldn't be the blame for tonight, Lawson $13mill is a libialty when on the floor can't even play in the 4th he's the scapegoat & morey

    jones is a dime a dozen pf. uses his athleticism a lot but not much skill. terrible touch around the rim. dmo couldnt come back sooner.

    i'd rather see a backup pf of harrell, ariza and capella. split the minutes depending on matchups

    I don't say he's to blame for anything this season. I say he's a fool's gold and lets not get hyped by his couple better games in a row and don't let Morey do the same he did by extending McHale early into last season, based on a good stretch.

    I agree, Jones is down the list of who to blame. He's actually been one of our better players this year, especially defensively.

    Jones is only 23, but there are fundamental things he sucks at. He can't finish around the basket. He's a lousy rebounder. He's not a good defensive player. And his jumpshot is mechanically a joke. How long does that release take? 3 seconds? Curry could shoot a jumper and go grab the ball under the basket in the amount of time it takes Jones to get his shot off.

    There's no way he's gonna be a Rocket come February. Morey would be insane to throw an extension his way and you don't wanna lose him for nothing. Odds are he'll be dealt within the next few months.

    Yes he needs to go. I would have kept jsmooth over him and we should have probably done so.

    Dwight is known for bricking plenty of layups as well. LOL

    Yeah it's time to part ways with Jones.

    he surely is slow. He gets blocked if hes under the rim and he takes like 5 seconds to launch three pointer

    People waiting for D-MO to come back and save the day are going to be extremely upset when they find out that he and T. Jones are like 2 peas in a pod.

    DMo is miles better than Jones but guys if you're expecting better rebounding from DMo you guys might be in for a major disappointment...

    Terrence and Harrell were -15 tonight at home against the Knicks. Hopefully we never see that combination together AGAIN!! Terrence by himself is bad enough. You don't compound it by putting him at the 5 with Harrell at the 4.




    Then again....I've only been calling for a 3rd 5/4 since before preseason started. Stupid me.

    While DMo is a much better player than Jones, I don't think that DMo coming back will be enough to turn this team into contender again.
